What is quality?

For ingredients to meet a standard of quality they must be...
-Safe
-Unadulterated
-Authentic

...tested and validated every step along the
supply chain. But why do nagging questions remain for consumers about product quality?

The industry at large has made great strides toward the goal of improving overall
ingredient and finished product quality but there’s still much more to be done.

More regulations are forthcoming but don’t fret—that’s a good thing.

cGMPs provide for finished product quality, for ingredients

“The Food Safety Modernization Act hasn’t been implemented and
it will bring a significant amount of responsibilities with it ...”

said Daniel Fabricant, CEO, Natural Products Association.

“There’s a real opportunity there to frame a conversation, to put
systems in place, and to work on the industry globally to have good
metrics about those systems.”

A clearer picture of supply chain complexities is emerging, but also making more transparent progress that's been made for quality - and pitfalls.

We'll chat about this progress, the pitfalls, and opportunty for the future.

Join us, we want to hear from you!
